Revolute Joint

Revolute Joint

Revolute Joint

(OP)
I've been trying to create a connecting rod to cam shaft model in Ansys 13 Workbench. I've created the connection between the shaft and connecting rod using a Revolute joint and apply a remote displacement to the cam to rotate 90 degrees. The cam has a revolute joint from body to ground. So for some reason the cam does not move as expected. The cam model seems to expand very large and displace very oddly. I tried this on the cam alone and the same result occurs. Before I make this more complicated I wanted to get this basic motion working first, but currently it seems to not operate as I expected.

Any ideas why this isn't working as expected?
Thanks!
